"Reset · Reborn · Restart" Described by people overseas as the "Aegean Sea of Japan", "With a beautiful view over a wide area, there is nothing better anywhere in the world" the Seto Inland Sea is so scenic that it is said to be the "Japanese Aegean Sea" by people from overseas. The 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, opened by Kobo Daishi Kukai, Shikoku is a place where the culture of hospitality, represented by the "Osettai" that surrounds it, is alive and well. Nowadays, I hear that many people come from abroad to seek the purpose of life and to heal their minds.   A culture of rich nature and hospitality. And a peaceful climate. The "healing" power generated from them is what fascinates people.   What you can do because of this place. Something that can only be done in this place.   Healing the mind, healing the body, We want to provide a time and space to pause and listen to your inner voice. I hope this place will help those who visit take the next step.
